We don't currently have this scheduled for upcoming sprints. You can indicate your interest in the issue by leaving a 👍 on the issue description. We take this into consideration when choosing the next features to work on in EDR.

When we incorporate this issue into a sprint, GitHub should add an event to the issue to signal this.

I would also love to see this implemented. This would make it more suitable for teaching blockchain and smart contract concepts, enabling practice scenarios where students can spend several sessions solving a problem without losing their progress every time.

The people are asking for it 😜🙂

[di-rse]
